Glass curtain wall silicone rubber strips play an important role in the glass curtain wall system and have the following main functions:
1. Sealing function: Silicone rubber strips are used as the sealing material of the glass curtain wall system, and are installed between the glass and the metal frame to achieve sealing and waterproof functions. It can effectively fill and seal the gap between the glass and the metal frame, preventing moisture, air and dust from entering the building interior.
2. Shock absorbing effect: When the glass curtain wall is subjected to earthquake, wind and other external shocks, the silicone rubber strip can play the role of shock absorbing and buffering. It has a certain degree of elasticity and softness, can absorb impact, reduce the impact on the glass, and increase the stability and safety of the curtain wall system.
3. Insulation function: Silicone rubber has excellent insulation properties, which can isolate the current conduction between the glass and the metal frame, and play the role of electrical insulation. This has important implications for certain façade systems, such as those with electrical components or lighting installations.
4. Sound absorption: Silicone rubber strips can absorb part of the sound wave energy and play a certain sound insulation effect. In urban environments, glass curtain wall systems often face the problem of noise pollution. The sound-absorbing properties of silicone rubber strips can reduce the transmission of external noise and provide better indoor comfort.
In general, glass curtain wall silicone rubber strips play multiple roles in the curtain wall system such as sealing, shock absorption, insulation and sound absorption, ensuring the waterproof performance, structural stability and indoor environmental quality of the building. It is an indispensable key component of the glass curtain wall system.
